Although I usually have no issues with Côte, I was glutened at this branch today.
I explained to the waitress that I am coeliac and she looked at me blankly. I then said it meant I couldn’t have gluten, and she offered to bring me the GF menu. I ordered the cheese soufflé and the salmon bearnaise, and a mocktail mojito.
I was brought the food with the usual GF flags.
Before the meal had ended I reacted to my food. Clearly there was some cross contamination along the way (I suspect the waitress assumed I was gluten intolerant rather than sensitive to cross contamination).
This has made me nervous about returning here.
Amazing experience my boyfriend and I had the sharing roast which isn’t listed as gluten free but the waitress made every effort to accommodate, we had the chicken, beans, broccoli, roast potatoes gravy and my boyfriend had a Yorkshire which they were careful with keeping completely separated. Also had the pigs in blankets which were phenomenal. Overall great food and great atmosphere!
I've got to say the man that served us in Cote was brilliant. I had my own gf menu which was pretty impressive. Loads to choose from and I felt like the staff took my allergies very seriously. I always feel better when I get a flag in my food! Food was delicious and I would absolutely recommend this place.
A great dining experience for Coeliacs. It always feels so safe eating at Cotes restaurants. You are asked on arrival for any allergies/ intolerances. All dishes are marked using G.F flags. There is a separate gluten free menu with a wide variety of dishes. The fixed price menu does not charge extra for needing to eat gluten free. Staff are very knowledgeable about coeliac disease & the need for separate fryers etc.
We all had steak ,very good and staff was very helpful doing a gluten free meal
